Check out just amazing RM2k Modern-world RPG example by Kimmo Kotajrvi
Sorry for bothering you with these 221 kbytes, but you could check this out on your spare time. It's a small collection of ideas & graphics for a modern-day RPG. I made it because world has already seen enough medieval-style default-tileset rm2k games :)
I have removed the rpg_rt.exe to make the archive smaller, so please copy it back yourself.Well, the clock is 22:22 now and I have my english graduation exam tomorrow (writing this
game was good practice, now my english is perfect) so I won't bother writing a longer readme.
NOTE: You can extract RAR archive by WinRAR or any new WinZip. (WinRar has time trial... so you can use it once for free)
31.04.2000: Cool News!

28.04.2000: Check out 2 spiffy proggies which can help you to improve yourself as a programmer or something:
Snag It - The screen shot movie demo maker. You can do tutorial move for RM2k (any other movie too). Your friends will see by their own eyes all mouse motions, clicks, etc. I bet such SNAGIT's tutorials will help to MANY newbies to understand TELEPORT, SWITCHES, etc... by live movie.
That was my idea to make such movie tutorial... BTW: thanks to Avatar for an info about SNAGIT and URL.
A-Flow - The spiffy visual compiler. You can create any program by A-Flow... by simply dragging a blocks and icons... It looks like RPG Maker 2000. But you can do your own EXE file for game install, sending mail, presentation, font manager, GFX editor, etc... Try it... and you will start to program without any knowledge... There is kewl English Tutorial!!! It has unlimited time trial!

PPS. Remember that "EVENT OVERLAP" discussion? I got another letter:
hello I know Japanese and I have Japanese rpg maker 2000 and English the event over lap in Japanese version says: No matter what other events cant step on this event! thank YouTHavas
20.12.2000: I want To introduce the best Japanese site with original RAW Materials for RM2k by MACK (and BLUE)
Original MACK's RAW Material (ChipSets,CharaSets,FaceSets,Etc.) collection for RPG Maker 2000
(Translated by ELINGO
from Japanese To English).
Read his Hiding
hometown page of the dot graphic's secrets.
(You can convert all GIF files To PNG by MS Paint / Clipboard / iDraw)
So... download all new original and professional chipSets / charaSets from his site! I do not put them To my site.
PS I'm working on including my fav MP3 songs into my FLASH menu 8-)
18.12.2000:
Today... is the.. Dark day over whole the Russian Federation.
They start To show POKEMON ( 104 eps. ) on 1st Russian Channel "ORT".Ya know!! When I drew PIKACHU chara... I did not know that it has STRIPES on its back!!! YAY!!!
I just found another mistranslation in the RM2k.
I meant "Clear Timer" event's command. It's equivalent of "vRemv" from RM95+. And it must be "Temporary deletion of event".
BTW... that command interrupts current event and erases it from a screen untill first TELEPORT command.
That fact is very useful!!! Now you can use your Switches & Variables more economly...
PS... There's another mistranslation... I'll tell you about it later.
PPS If you have that WHITE SCREEN problem still then try this method: Install correct driver for your Plug/n/Play monitor (.inf file). You can download such driver from your monitor's company site. Or ask it at your Computer store.
16.12.2000: There's some bug fixes from ... one japanese co. btw... they did not fix that "white screen" problem.
PS there's no update for English RM2k yet. ^_^
